Sunday Mirror columnist Michael Calvin as joined a long list of people in the game who are having a pop at Cardiff City. What it all over, loan signings. Rival fans as well as a good few pundits feel the need to have a pop. Although I am not a fan of Robbie Savage it was good to hear him defend the Bluebirds when someone phone-in to his 606 radio show asking his thought on the subject. After listening about is it unfair that Cardiff have so many, Savage smiply ask the guy phone were Cardiff breaking any rules which he end up say no anyway.
It was all about Craig Bellamy when he signed at the start of the season and the shocking fact that Manchester City is playing a large percentage of his wages. Now it’s ‘boohoo’ they have seven players on loan, there is not a manager in the Championship who would love to have the same problem as Cardiff boss Dave Jones.
There is no official limit on how many loan signing you can have but there is a limit on the number you can have in your match day squad, the limit is five. Have any rules or laws been broken so why all the gripping. If Bellamy lived just outside Bristol and was a Bristol City fan, with his family there, he would have ended up with them. Would that mean they would have some kind of an unfair advantage? can one player have the power to unlock the key to promotion, I think not.
So what if Manchester City and the other club are chipping in with help with the wages. How the hell can clubs in the low leagues afford the kind of money some of these players are on. There are player just out of youth football who are yet to have a senior starts on £15,000 plus a-week. Managers want to loan out young players them for experience or help with fitness levels for players returning for injury who don't want them going to rivals so its the low leagues. Not many or maybe none can afford those kind of wages Cardiff new owners are bankrolling Cardiff City boss Dave Jones plans. Even Cardiff has helped subsidized wages of players they have sent out on loan.
So what did Calvin say,
The next grip will be if Cardiff were to make it to the final goal, the Premier League the out cry will be, why is a Welsh team in the premier ‘English League’ why aren’t they playing in the League of Wales.

So what did Calvin say,
Cardiff’s beauty pageant of loan stars is getting ridiculous.I found out he is a Watford fan and has write a book on Millwall ‘Family: Life, Death and Football’ no conflict of interest there then.
They’ve got the gorgeous, pouting Craig Bellamy. He’s supported by Seyi Olofinjana, Jason Koumas and Andy Keogh. They’re subsidised by Hull, Wigan and Wolves respectively.
Danny Drinkwater is there courtesy of Manchester United. Arsenal have lent Jay Emmanuel Thomas and will allow Aaron Ramsey to help for a month.
The Championship a level playing field?
Don’t make me laugh.
The next grip will be if Cardiff were to make it to the final goal, the Premier League the out cry will be, why is a Welsh team in the premier ‘English League’ why aren’t they playing in the League of Wales.
